JERSEY CITY -- A 24-year-old woman was killed in a one car crash on Newark Avenue early Saturday morning, authorities said.

Khalla Nguyen was the backseat passenger of a Honda Accord when the car crashed into a metal guardrail near Seventh Street, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said in a statement.

At about 3 a.m., police were called to the area on reports of a crash. Officers found Nguyen with "apparent injuries from the crash." She was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.

Few details have been released surrounding the crash. Reports following the deadly collision earlier indicated the driver and other passengers in the vehicle had fled on foot.

Asked whether any arrests were made or if the driver stayed at the scene, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office could only say the incident remains under investigation.

Saturday's wreck is the third deadly collision the newly formed Regional Fatal Collision Unit has investigated since its inception on Jan. 15. A woman was killed in a hit-and-run crash on Grand Street on Jan. 17. No arrests have been announced in that investigation.

Then on Jan. 23, a deaf man was on his way home when an SUV crashed into a bus stop. The 19-year-old driver fled on foot and was arrested two days later.

Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office at 201-915-1345 or leave an anonymous tip on the Hudson County Prosecutor's website. All information will be kept confidential.
